Huxley Family

INXROOUCXION.

A^ OST families in the United States who trace their ances-
1 jL try to New England, look back still fnrthcr through
New England to Old England for their origin. This is the
case with the Huxley family. With these families, if the immi-
grant ancestor can be found at all. he is found to have come
from England, when the colonies were being settled, and so
his descendants are of early English ancestry. No known
public records, and no private records in the Huxley family in
the United States exist to show absolutely by an unbroken line,
its origin or nativity, but the tradition in the family has been
that the ancestor came from England. This tradition did not,
however, or at least does not now furnish the answers to the
more particular queries which press urgently for answers,
such as: Who was he who came? WHien did he come?
Where did he come from out of the broad expanse of all Eng-
land, and where was the place of his activities there? W^as he
of London or Lixerpool. or of what place was he? At what
place did he land and where did he locate? WHiat was his
calling, business or status there, and what did he become here?
and a hundred other cognate questions seek answers about each
person \\^hose name may be suggested as an immigrant ancestor
of any family whatever. Only here and there can persons be
found about whom these questions can be answered two hun-
dred or three hundred years after death. With the vast
majority no more extended history of them exists than that
they were born and died and with a goodly per cent, not even
this can be found. What they did to make up the sum of life
no person has cared to preserve by monument or record against
the ever destroving tooth of time and final oblivion.

The traditional English ancestor of the Huxleys in the

4 THE HUXLEY FAMILY.

United States is one of those in default of any known records
accessible to the compiler to save his memory from the fate of
having been lost, and so his existence totally forgotten and
unknown by all living human beings. One or two slight "cues"
exist, but they are too vague and uncertain to be relied on.

The Huxley family, so far as known, has always been few
in numbers, both in England and the United States. Quite a
large per cent, of its members in the United States have at-
tained to 80 or 90 years, but fecundity did not seem to inhere-
in the family, and so perhaps the number of persons in the
family is not greater now than two hundred years ago. It
began at Hartford, Connecticut, in 1667, or perhaps more
strictly in 1660 at New Haven, Connecticut, and the stream
of its life flowed northward into Massachusetts at Hampshire
county, and thence to the westward along the northern part of
the state of Connecticut to its west boundary and again turned
northward into Massachusetts, at Berkshire county, and most
likely also into New York state, since some of them are known
to be there ; a part turned back to the eastward in Massachu-
setts, and a part went on westward into Ohio, and thence to
Michigan, Indiana, Kansas, Iowa, Wisconsin and perhaps
other states.

None remain in Connecticut ; none in western Massa-
chusetts; but few in New York and Ohio and eastern
Massachusetts. They generally owned land and were farmers
or engaged in occupations connected with the land. A few
became lawyers, doctors, school professors, or engaged in some
mercantile or mechanical l)usiness, but as far as known only
one became a clergyman. However, some did in England.
Nearly all of proper age at the time were in revolutionary war
service, which, from our point of view as United States
citizens, was highly commendable. Some also were in military
service during the civil war as will hereafter appear.

The family in England was sufficiently ancient in point of
time, but the slender accounts to be obtained from correspon-
dence lack that definiteness and coherence which are necessary
to a proper knowledge of the family.

The "Manor of Huxley" hereafter mentioned, with the
residence thereon called "Huxley Hall" was, and still is, situ-

INTRODUCTION. 5

atecl in Broxton Hundred in the countv of Cheshire, in the
northwest of England, and is in the parish of Hargrave, about
8 miles southeast of Chester, the principal city of Cheshire, and
so would be about 24 miles southeast of Liverpool, and is fur-
ther located as being about \\ miles from Tattenhall station
on the London & Northwestern Railway. An ordnance map
shows a road called Huxley leading eastward toward Tilston
(5 miles) which road passes a place called Huxley Corse, 2
miles from Huxley. A part of the solid stone walls of the old
Manor-House still stand and are incorporated into the structure
of a modern farm house, but no Huxley now lives there.

The original boundaries of the manor were straggling
and the description vague and uncertain, giving but little idea
of its real extent and contents, but at present the area is said to
be about 1,500 acres and contains a population of 260.
The Benedictine Abbey or Monastery of St. Werburgh
founded by Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester, in 1070. was at
Chester, and it received title to these lands with much other
lands in the vicinity of Chester, from William the Conqueror
between 1066 and 1093. The king's ability to make this be-
stowal was by the seizure of lands from former owners who
were considered to be his enemies or who would not attorn to
him, but whether these lands before that time were called the
"Manor of Huxley" and ow^ned by such a family is not known.
Huxley is not named in Domesday Book, but is said to be com-
prised under the name of "Hodesleia" (whatever that may be)
contained in the foundation charter of the Benedictine Abbey
of St. Werburgh, but omitted in the enumeration of those es-
tates in Domesday Book.

All present titles to land in England start from Domesday
Book of William the Conqueror, in 1066, and the new^ family
and owaier soon came to bear the name of his land. Thus
"Richard de Huxley" simply meant Richard of Huxley (land).
In the 31st year of Edw'ard HL 1333, a writ in quo warranto
was issued under authority of the crowai against the Abbot of
St. Werburgh to show by what authority he exercised fran-
chises within various manors of which "Huxlegh" was one,
showing the approach toward the present spelling of the name.

b TITF. TTUXLEY FA]\riLY.

The growth in spehing the name has been from the Latin
Hodesleia to the English Hodeslegh — Huxlegh — Huxley.

Most all of the small towns or villages mentioned in the
descent of title to the Manor of Huxley given in the succeeding
pages, such as Aldersey. Brindley, Clotton, Duddon, Darnhall,
Ecclesfield, Macclesfield, Tattenhall. Wettenhall. Waverton,
Upton, etc.. are in Cheshire and from 5 to 15 miles southeast
of Chester. These places and the Huxley family are described
by Ormerod in his history of Chester and Cheshire, published
about 1820, as also in a more recent edition of the same work
by Thomas Helsby in 1882. both out of print and difficult to
obtain. Howexer, the compiler has been able recently to obtain
a copy of the Helsby edition of this work, consisting of three
ponderous tomes of about 1,000 pages each, and it clearly shows
historically that the family had a location there for the past
eight hundred years or more, and this is something not known
outside of England and the United States. In Helsby's His-
tory of Cheshire in Nolun^.e 2. at page 797. et se(|., the Pluxley
family and their land holdings in the count}- are described, and
the genealogical descent of title to the land given in some of
the succeeding pages herein was mainly taken from that work.
A full copy of the Charter of St. W'erburgh Aljbey above
referred to in the original Latin and bearing date of 1093, is
also contained in this History.

Tt will l)e remembered that by the laws of primogeniture
in England the title to land was cast upon the eldest son, so
that at each descent the younger sons were dropped out, unless
in some way they received title from the elder son, or from
.some other source, and so far as the land title was concerned
they were not again heard of. They went into the professions
or army or other business not relating to the land, so that their
relationship to the family would not be found with the land
titles, but must be sought elsewhere. From this source parts
of the family drifted southward to Lichfield and Xew Castle-
on-Tyne in Staffordshire, and Coventry in Warwickshire,
Essex, Devonshire, and perhaps other places, and thence to
London. A few years ago a Charles Huxley and a John
Huxley were at the Potteries,- near Xew Castle in Stafford-
shire; the well known Thomas H. Huxley, born at Ealing,

INTRODTTCTION. 7

near London, in 1825, lived and died at London, and no
23erson's writings are l)etter known than his on both sides of
the Atlantic ; his son, Prof. Leonard Huxley, is now connected
with the endowed school at Godalming, in the county of
Surrey, 32 miles southwest of LtMidon. Within the past year
he had published a life of his father consisting- of two large
volumes which is meeting with a liberal sale in the United
States. It gives an excellent insigiit into the inner life, labors
and successes of a man who was, in the l)est sense of the term,
one of nature's real noblemen.

Li a catalogue of the Judges of Chester, collected out of
the old deeds and charters, and out of the recognizances in the
Exchequer is found the following :

"Idem Reginaldus, 55 and 56 Hen. 3. Robertus de
Huxley, ejus locum tenens, anno. 1271."
Among the Sheriffs of Chester tlie following appears :

for such research, or otherwise so disposed, may from this

how it all occurred.

THE SPENCER FAMILY.

Since it will appear in the Descent proper hereafter given
that the Spencer family furnished the earliest maternal ances-
tor, it is thought best to show, as far as may be done, who the
Spencers were at the time of, and before the colonial settle-
ment of Massachusetts and Connecticut. The first we know of
Francis Spencer and his wife Elizaloeth is, that, for many
years prior to 1636, when he died, they w'ere rich Ale Brewers
in London — not in the most reputable part — and she continued
the business a few years thereafter. By wills they left large
properties to their four sons; Richard, John, Thomas and
Jarrard. The ancestor was a citizen and ale brewer, and
thereby made the money, and he was also a member of the
Church of Engiand at St. Giles F'arish, outside Crippleg"ate,
London, all of which appears by the record. These facts
transferred the sons to the Gentlemen class. The grandsons, at
least those who descended from Jarrard, had property, and
they all received bequests from their uncle Richard w^ho died in
London in 1646 and after they came to the colonies. They too
were members of the Church of England, which was at that
time the touchstone, the be-all and end-all of what was good,
right and just. The dissenters and non-conformists in Eng-
land were hated and despised, xilified, ostracised, persecuted

as the dissenters, l)ut who did not Icai'c llic church, and who
were the ruling power in Massachusetts did likewise with those
who did not precisely conform with their views! So wdien the
Spencers arrived at Boston in the years following 1630,
Michael, Garrard, with its numerous spellings, Thomas and
^^'illiam, all, at oiicc, could and did become freemen, and took
high and honorable rank among the colonists. They were
thus qualified to hold office, and were at once called on to be

assured. Thev came certified bv the church officials there, and

that settled all doubt and controversy here. They were the
peers of any colonist whoever he mioht he. The ale brewer's
descendant was "On the throne, his satraps in the hall." The
blood of the \vickcd and much hated and despised non-
conformist with the \iews of the ])uritans was relegated to the
rear. Thus truly the whirligig- of time has its revenges.

burial by the side of her husl)and in the church yard of St. Giles
Parish, Cripplegate, London, which was accordingly done
prior to 1646. Below follows a tabulated sketch of the Spen-
cers, which shows how the maternal ancestor of the Huxleys
was descended, and was taken largely from a Genealogv of the
Spencer family i)ublished by one of its members not many
years ago.

Francis Spencer — wife, Elizabeth — of St. Giles Parish without Cripple-
gate. London, citizen and brewer, born about 1575, and
whose will was proved October 24, 1636, had 4 sons and i
daughter.

1. Richard, gentleman of London, whose will was dated May 29, 1646, and

proved June 8, 1646, in which he makes bequests "to Jar-
rard Spencer, Thomas Spencer, William Spencer and
Michael Spencer, sons of my brother Jarrard Spencer, de-
ceased," etc.

2. John, died before May, 1646.

3. Thomas, died before May, 1646.

4. Jarrard. died before May. 1646, but had 4 sons and i daughter, to-wit :

1. ^lichael, who was a resident of Cambridge. Mass., in 1635. Removed

to Lynn, Mass., before 1639 and died before November,
1653, left 2 children.

In 1648, he drew a draft dated at New England, upon
the e.xecutor of his Uncle Richard's will for his share of
the bequest which draft is recorded with the will. This
shows clearly where Michael was at the time, and what his
relationship was to the testator and to his estate.

2. Garrard — was a resident of Cambridge, Mass.. in 1634. Took frec-
or Gerard man's oath March 9, 1636-7. Resident of Lynn from
Garret 1638 to 1659. Chosen Ensign of the Train Band in June,
Gerret 1656. Removed to Haddam, Conn., about 1660 and died
Jarrard between December 17, 1683, and September 3, 1685. Left
Jarret several children.

20 THE HUXLEY FAMILY.

3. Thomas. He resided in Cambridge, Mass., in 1633, as stated in Paige's
Historj' of Cambridge at page 659, and in 1635 was re-
corded as the owner of several small parcels of land in
Newtowne (now Cambridge) at the time of that record.
In the History of Suffield in the colony and Province
of the Massachusetts Bay, at page 40, it is stated that he
came from Braintree in Essex county, England, with
Reverend Thomas Hooker's company in 1632, and went
with him to Hartford. In Trumbull's History of Connec-
ticutt it appears that Hooker was silenced in Essex county
as a non-conformist preacher and tied to Holland in 1630
to avoid arrest and prosecution ; that in 1632 a large body
^ofInsj2ar>ttioners came from Braintree, England, to Cam-
bridge, and in 1633 he himself came in the ship Griffin,
arriving September 4, with 200 more of his people, a few
of whom are named, but Thomas Spencer is not named.
But he was there, nevertheless, from about that time for-
ward. On May 14, 1634, he took the freeman's oath. In
1636, he moved to Hartford, and in 1637 was in the Pequot
Indian war, and for his services therein the General Court
of Connecticut, in May, 1671, granted him 60 acres of
land. In 1639, he is recorded as the owner of several small
parcels of land in Hartford. In April, 1639, he was one
of the deputies to the first General Assembly or Court
in Hartford, etc. In March, 1649-50, he was appointed by
the Particular Court as a sergeant of militia. In 1657,
Constable, and 1672 surveyor of Highways. He was
twice married, but of his first wife nothing is known, but
there were 3 children : i Obadiah, 2 Thomas, married
Esther Andrews, removed to Suffield, Mass., died July 23,
1689. 3 Samuel. His second wife, whom he married Sep-
tember II, 1645, was Sarah Bearding, a daughter of
Nathaniel Bearding of Hartford, whose will dated Janu-
ary 7, 1673, mentions "his son-in-law Thomas Spencer,
and his 5 daughters" naming them. There were 6 chil-
dren: I Garrard, born 1646; 2 Sarah, born 1647. She
married Thomas Huxley in 1667, and with him removed
to Suffield, Mass. 3 Elizabeth, born 1648; 4 Hannah,
born 165 1 ; 5 Mary, born 1655; 6 Martha, born 1657.
Thomas Spencer died at Hartford September 11, 1687.
His will recorded in Hartford Probate Records in volume
4, pp. 262-263, proven October 26, 1687, reads as follows :
"The last will and Testament of Sargt. Tho. Spencer, to-
gether with an Inventory of his estate was exhibited In

In the Spencer family Genealogy it is stated it is
thought William was the deputy to the first General As-
sembly under tlie first constitution of Hartford, but the
dates hardly admit of his presence there at Hartford so
early in the year and Trumbull in his history of Connecti-
cut states that Thomas was the deputy, which is far more
likely to be correct, since Thomas was a resident of Hart-
ford from 1636 and William did not arrive at Hartford
till after the first session of this court.

(r~»-^^^t-JI^^--^

"X^eX

FIRST GENERATION.

I. Thomas Huxley. He died July 21, 1721, at Suf-
field, Mass. \\'hile first stated, it was not his first act. Of his
origin and youth the compiler has not found anything- which
can be rehed on to show this. He appeared at the wedding" at
the residence of Thomas Spencer in Hartford, Conn., in May,
1667, and married Sarah Spencer, but from whence he came
to the colony or how old he was remains a sealed book.
Judg"ing- from his death, he was tlicn between 20 and 30 years
of age, and may have been born in the colonies about 1640-5,
or he may have been the immigrant ancestor who arrived quite
young. His name appears in Savage's Genealogical Diction-
ary in ^■olume 2 at page 514, as one of the original settlers of
the Hartford colony, and the names of his wife and children
are correctly gi\'en, l)ut no intimation is given frt)m whence
he came or who his ancestors were. There was a bequest of a
gun to him in the will of John Wakeman, at that time treas-
urer of New Haven, probated in Hartford, in 1661, which was
written in New Ha\'en in 1660, and which indicates that he
was in New Haven in 1660. and in the employ of John Wake-
man, and in that year he took the oath of Fidelity in New
Haven. John W^akeman removed from New Haven to Hart-
ford in 1 66 1, and died there. Since it appears that Thomas
was in his employ at that time and not married, it is highly
probable he als(^ went with Wakeman to Hartford, but how he
came to be in New Haven in 1660 and before, is the "Stone
wall" up against which the compiler has landed in this search,
without the means of passing over.

The slight "cue" referred to on a fcM-mer page, consists
of two items each obtained from two different sources. First
it appears from the records of Suffield that one James Barlow
was in Sufiield in 1680 and on the TOth day of January, 1688,
he married Sarah Huxley, and Savage in his Genealogical
Dictionary in volume i in stating this fact says "She was a
daughter of Thomas Huxley of Suftield ; that a son James

24 THE HUXLEY FAMILY.

\vas born January 7, 1689. and that Barlow died March 16,
1690." That she was a daughter of Thomas Huxley is not
credible, for he had a daughter Sarah who is well accounted
for as hereafter appears and who could not be the same as this
Sarah, who then may have been a sister of Thomas. If so, who
w^as their father and where was he? Secondly, in Emery's
History of the Ministry of Taunton. Mass.. which is fifty or
sixty miles directly east of Hartford, Conn., in a list of forty-
five names of the first distribution of lands to settlers in
Taunton in 1638, given on page 2>7 this entry appears :

"I Henry Uxley, 8 acres."

A few^ years later he sold this land, but it does not appear
where he went or wlio his family was if he had any.

Bailies in his History of New Plymouth, at page 288,
under the subject Taunton, says: "At the head of the list of
purchasers stands the name of Henry Uxley without the re-
spectable prefix of Mr. None now can tell who he was,
whence he came, or whither he went. His name is extinct;
not a vestige remains, not a memorial exists to tell us what kind
of a man he was, or at what period he sought the Indian Co-
hannet. His house and lot were sold to Richard Williams,
and about him (meaning \\'illiams) much is known, for he
may in some measure be considered the father, if not the
founder of Taunton." Bailies then gives the same list of pur-
chasers as Emery, and begins it "i Henry Uxley, 8 acres," etc.,
and on page 289 he says "It is also probable Henry Uxley,
Richard Williams (and 6 others whom he names) were in
Taunton previous to this period for most of these antient pur-
chasers came immediately from Dorchester."

If he had a house, it is highly probable he had a family,
and 'Uxley may have been the cockney English for Huxley,
written in the records by the officer according to his own
sweet will, for nothing then seemed to control anyone in his
spelling, but no known record tells that Thomas and Sarah
"c^'crc his children though some suspicions are aroused.

Beyond this the whole matter rests in speculation without
knowledge.

Sarah Spencer was born in 1647, and was a daughter of
Sergeant Thomas Spencer and Sarah (Bearding) Spencer,

FIRST GENERATION. 2^

who was one of the original settlers in Hartford in 1636, and
in April, 1639, he was one of the deputies to the first General
Assembly, or Court held under the first free written constitu-
tion for the Hartford colonies adopted in January, 1639. This
constitution divorced the church and state and contained the
essential germ of all political liberty since found in the United
States, in all written constitutions from that day to the present
time, all of which clearly appears in Trumbull's History of
Early Connecticut.

Upon the land records of Hartford in Book of Distribu-
tions, page 352, appears the first title of lands that any Huxley
held in the United States, and is the 48th one in the colony of
Connecticut and is as follows : "Land in Hartford upon River
Connecticut belonging to Thomas Huxley and his heirs for-
ever. One parcell which he received of Obadiah Spencer lying
in the neck of land, containing by estimation four acres and
halfe (be it more or less) and abutts on the common fence on
the west, and on the swamp belonging to the north meadow on
the east, and on Obediah Spencer's land on the north, and John
Pantry's land on the south. Acknowledged by me, August 29,
1671."

"Witness, John Allen, Recorder. Obediah Spencer.

John Pantry."

"More one parcell of land which he bought of John
Pantry, with the consent of Capt. John Tallcott lying in the
neck of land containing by estimation two acres of land, be it
more or less ; and abutts on the common fence on the west, and
on the swamp belonging to the north meadow east, on John
Pantry's land on the south, and Thomas Huxley's land on the
north. Acknowledged the 29th of August, 1671.
"Witness hereto. Per me, John Tallcott,

John Allen, Recorder. John Pantry."

Thomas Leffingwell."

On October 30. 1674, he sold this land to George Knight,
and in company with his wife's half brother Thomas
Spencer, removed his family to Suffield, Mass., where his wife
died October 24, 1712. On the Distribution Book in Sufiield
it appears that by the award of the Selectmen in 1678 he re-

26 THE HUXLEY FAMILY.

ceived the title to 60 acres of land on the east line of High
street, and he afterwards acquired title to other lands. On Octo-
ber 13. 1669. he was made a freeman of Hartford colony as
appears from the Collected Records of ,Conn.. from 1665 to
1667 at page 518 and again on Oct. 12, 1681, he was made a
freeman by the General Court at Boston, as appears from Col.
Rec. of Mass., vol. 5. at pages 320- r, and owing to the impor-
tance and peculiarity- of this regulation, and that Thomas was
the only Huxley wdio attained to this distinction it is thought
proper to make fuller statement of its significance.

Every one was then a subject of Great Britain and did not
need to be naturalized in the sense as now understood, yet be-
fore he was permitted to exercise the right of suffrage, or hold
any office, bv the laws of the colony, he must l)e made a free-
man, which prior to 1664 re(|uired him to prove by the certifi-
cate of the pastor of his church that he was a respectable mem-
ber of the Congregational church, and after that date by a like
certificate that he was correct in doctrine and conduct, but not
necessaril)' a member. It is worthy of remark that out of the
more than 22,000 immig'rants from 1630 to 1691, not more
than 2,000 ever f)ecame Freemen, so that while it has often
been said the whole body of freemen in the beginning, met to
make the laws and decide the i)olic)" of the colony, yet it is plain
to see that the political power was in fact exercised by a small
body of the real inhabitants, scarcely sufficient to make up the
body of officers. The whole body of freemen and the whole
body of the people were 1)\- no manner of means identical. The
certificate was "The names of those 'men which desiar to tak
ther freedom of this Comon Wealth, and are householders and
members of ye church, are Thos. Spencer, Thos. Huxley."

Daniel ffisher,

Pastor."

The oath administered to Thomas on Oct. 12. 16S1, was
as follows : "I, Thomas Huxley, being by God's providence an
Inhabitant and Freeman within the Jurisdiction of this Com-
monwealth; do freely acknowledge myself to be subject to the
Government thereof: Awd, therefore, do here swear b)- the
great and dreadful name of the Ever li\ing God. that I will l)e

true and faithful to the same, and will accordingiy yield assis-
tance and support thereunto, with my person and estate, as in
equity 1 am bound; and will also trul\- endeaxor to maintain
and preserve all the liberties and privileg-es thereof, submitting
myself to the wholesome Laws and Orders made and estab-
lished by the same. And further that 1 will not plot or practice
any evil against it, or consent to any that shall so do ; but will
timely discover and reveal the same to lawfull Authority now^
here established, and for the si)eedv i)revention thereof.

Moreover, I doe solemnh' bind mvself in the sight of God,
that when I shall l)e called to give my voyce touching any such
matter of this state, in which Freemen are to deal. 1 will give
my vote and suffrage as I shall judge in mine own conscience
may best conduce and tend to the publike weal of the body, so
help me God in the Lord Jesus Christ."

After taking this most formidable and iron clad oath, the
record shows he was chosen a serg'eant of militia at Hartford,
and by a vote of the town of Suffield, Mass., in i686. he was
chosen a keeper of a "Public House of Entertainment" which
was situated on High street. The records and History of Suf-
field further show that he was one of thirty-four legal voters
in all town affairs, as- recorded by Major Pynchon at the first
town meeting held on March g. 1682, and at the election on
March 6, 1683, '^^ ^^'^^ elected to the office of Selectman which
he held, except in occasional years, till 1706. This was the
highest and most important office in the town, and during all
these years he was prominent in all public affairs, his name
appearing frequentl\' in the records and history of Suftield.
His children, first five born at Hartford, were,

2. Thomas [11] born April 7, 1668.

3. John [13] born 1670.

4. Mary, born 1672. Married Ichaliod Smitli 1692, and had C)

SECOND GENERATION.

II. Thomas-, [2] (Thomas^, born April 7, 1668, at
Hartford, Conn., died October 8, 171 2, at Suffield, Mass. He
was the owner of at least 8 acres of land on the west line of
High street nearly opposite the land of his father on the same
street as fully appears from the plat of the allotment of lands
on this street, a copy of which plat is now in the possession of
the compiler. In 1698 he was elected to the office of Fence

Viewer. He married about 1689, and they had

children.

12. Thomas, born 1690. No further trace of this descent has been

found.

13. John- [3] (Thomas') born 1670, at Hartford,

Conn.; died April 15, 1722, at Suffield, Mass.; married 1st
Elizabeth King, June 2^, 1698. She died April 5, 1705, 2nd
married Experience Gibbs, Nov. 6, 1706. She was a daughter
of Samuel and Hepzibah (Dibble) Gibbs, born April 4, 1673;
died, April 28, 1740, at Suffield, Mass. His business does not
appear of record, but he owned a few acres of land and was
likely a farmer as most men were at that time, and at times he
held such minor offices as constable, fence viewer, and surveyor
of highways. The children were,

14. Jolin, born June 12. 1700; died Dec. 2, 1700.

in Hartford county. Conn., and died there about — i754- I"
order to understand the above statement relating to the locality,
it must be remembered that at the original settlement of Suf-
field by Major Pinchon and his associates whose grant was
from the General Court at Boston, it was a part of Hampshire

remained under the political jurisdiction of Massachusetts till
1749, when, upon a re-adjustment of the colony line between
Massachusetts and Connecticut, the town of Suffield fell upon
the south side of the line and became a part of Hartford
county, Connecticut, and subject to its political jurisdiction,
where it still remains and will be spoken of in this work as in
Connecticut after 1749. In the History of Suffield at page 95
it is said "The history of the negotiations for the settlement of
the colony line and the quarrels between the towns for many
years often resulting in blows, would fill a volume." Jared
married ist Hannah Smith, November 5. 1706. She died July
5, 1708; one child [18] was born. 2nd married Mary
Norton, May 5, 1709. She was the eldest daughter of Capt.
George Norton (son of George Norton, a carpenter, who came
from London, England, in April, 1629, and settled at Salem,
Mass.) and his second wife, widow Mary Gillet, whom he
married June 20, 1683. Mary was born at Suffield in July,
1684, and Capt. George Norton died November 15, 1696. He
was a freeman in 1681, Captain of Militia. Inn Keeper, Se-
lectman in 1685 and 1693 ^-nd was also the first Representative
to the General Court at Boston for the town of Suffield in 1693.
Jared was a land owner and a farmer and at times from
1 7 13 to 1723 held the minor offices of constable and surveyor
of highways, and in 1720 he was a Tythingman. This office
was at that time deemed \'ery important and responsible. The
incumbent of this office was much reverenced by the law abid-
ing and much feared by the transgressor. The duties were
"To inspect all licensed houses of entertainment and to inform
of all disorders or misdemeanors committed in them, to present
and inform of all idle and disorderly persons, profane swear-
ers, or cursers. Sabbath breakers and the like offenders." The
insignia of office was "A black staff two feet long tipped at one
end with brass about three inches as a badge of office to be pro-
vided by the Selectmen of the town." The children were,

who was a son of Capt. John and Mary (Smith) Kent of '
Suffield. and who was born Sept. 5, 1710. Captain John
and several other Kents were freemen and selectmen
from the beginning. Moses Kent was first cousin to Moss

John Trumbull the second and Martha (Taylor) Trumbull,
who was the eldest son of judah Trtimbull of Suffield. jndah

dential advisor of General Washington, who familiarly called
him "Brother Jonathan." The term has since passed into pop-
ular use as equivalent to the people of the United States.

The Governor had two sons, ist Colonel John Trumhull,
Assistant Adjutant General in the Revolutionary War, and a
distinguished painter, his portraits of Washington, Adams and
Jefferson, and the historical paintings of "The Battle of Bunker
Hill," "Declaration of Independence." "Surrender of Bur-

are among his most celebrated pieces. 2nd Jonathan, who,
also, was governor of Connecticut eleven years. Speaker of the
House of Representatives of the United States 1791-3 and
United States senator from Connecticut 1793-5.

Another brother of Joseph Trumbull of Lebanon was
Benoni of Hebron (the father Ijeing Joseph of Suffield, and
brother of Judah) who was the grandfather of Rev. Benjamin
Trumbull of Hebron whose History of Connecticut is most
highly and justly esteemed. He in turn was the grandfather
of Hon. Lyman Trumbull, United States senator from Illinois
during the Cixil War, and afterwards a most distinguished

advocate and jurist. 2nd Jared married Stanard ; in

the record she is called Widow Stanard, in 1780. No children
by this marriage, and letters yet in existence show the marriage
to have been very unfortunate and the cause of much trouble.
He was a farmer in Suffield and owned several small pieces of
land, which he sold February 9, 1753. and removed with his
family to Canaan, Conn. He was an extensive buyer of lands
in Canaan, and his land transactions also extended ink)

58. JoHN^ [34] (John^, John^ Thomas') born April
30, 1739, at Siiffield, Mass., died at Great Barrington, Mass.,
about 18 — . He was a laborer by occupation, but the records
of land titles do not show that he was a land owner. The
records of the French and Indian War show that he served
in that war in 1756 and probably the year following he removed
to Great Barrington, Berkshire county, Mass., for in 1757 he
married Mary Highstead of Sheffield, Berkshire county, Mass.
During the Revolution he enlisted as a private in Captain Aor-
son's company, 3d New York regiment of the line on Dec.
I, 1776, to serve during the war, but was discharged Jan. 25,
1779. He again enlisted at Great Barrington, as his place of
residence in Lieutenant Person's company. Colonel Ashley's
regiment, of Berkshire county men on August 20, 1781, and
served during the war. The children were,

60. James [81] born 1759.

61. Silas, born 1761. In 1796 he bought land in Canaan, Columbia

County, New York, and in the deed was said to be of the
Manor of Livingston, Columbia County, New York. No
further trace of him has been found.

62. Jared^ [44] (Jared^ Jared-, Thomas') born
August 3, 1739, at Suffield. Hampshire county, Mass. He re-
moved with his father Jared [38] to Canaan, Conn., in 1753,
and at majority to New Marlborough, Berkshire county, Mass.,
where he died Oct. 1 1 , 1 794, and his will was probated and
recorded Nov. 4, 1794, at Pittsfield, Mass. By the terms of his
will he gave 25 acres of his land to his wife, with various other
property during her life, and at her death all of his land and
personal property went to his only son Asahel, but charged
with the duty of paying thirty-two pounds to each of his four
living sisters, and also to perform the testator's contract to
support during life Samuel Camfield, the grandfather of
Asahel.

He married Abigail Camfield Nov. i, 1764. at Canaan,

Conn. She was a daug-hter of Samuel Camfield who was a
Colonel of Militia in Litchfield County, Conn., in 1781. She
was born in 1738 and died January 7, 1808, at New Marlbor-
ough, Mass. He was a land owner at the south line of New
Marlborough, Mass., and the l)urying ground adjoining his
farm is to this day called "The Huxley Burying Ground," and
the school district, "Huxley School District" though no living
Huxleys are to be found in that locality for more than thirty
years.

He was a farmer by occupation, and most likely a weaver,
since his will speaks of his "shop, loom and loom tackling, etc."
which he bequeathed to his son Asahel. His children were,

joiner by trade, and he removed to Norwich, Conn., where he
married Mary Pierce about 1764. He died at Norwich, Conn.,
177 — , as appears in the genealogy of the Marsh family. They
had one daughter.

County, Mass., and removed with his father Jared [38] and his
brothers Aaron and Jared [62] and their sisters to Canaan,
Litchfield County, Conn., in 1753. He married Ruhamah
Holcomb of Canaan, Conn., March 25, 1773, ist church records
vol I. She was the daughter of Daniel and Sarah Holcomb,

born about 1743. On Nov. 29, 1775, he bought about 60

acres of land at the south line of New Marlborough, Berkshire
County, Mass., upon which he continued to reside till a short
time after 18 14. After the death of his wife in 1800 his
daughter took charge of his household affairs.

He continued to buy land in that vicinity till 181 4 when he
was the owner of about 230 acres. He was a farmer by occu-
pation and was four times in service during the Revolutionary
War with rank of Private. (For his Revolutionary War Ser-
vice record see Military Services of Huxleys.) In 1814 he sold
his land and the proceeds were invested by his sons in Western
Reserve land to which they removed, and after settling the busi-
ness affairs of the family in Massachusetts, he went to his
daughter's residence in Livingston County, New York, and
remained about one year, when he removed to Ellsworth, Ohio,
and died there at the residence of his son Jared July 2y, 1822,
as appears from a letter yet in existence written little rnore than
two years after, but the inscription on his monument in the
cemetery at Ellsworth, Ohio, states the date to be August 13,
1823. He was the progenitor of all the Huxleys in Trumbull
and Mahoning Counties in Ohio after 18 14 and of their
descendants wherever, found to the present day. The children
were,

married LIriel Beman at New Marlborough. Mass., April

29, 1805, and in 1812. they removed to Livonia, Livingston
County, New York, where the family afterwards resided.
In the summer of 1814 Beman was bitten by a mad dog
from the effects of which he died July 13, 1814. The chil-
dren were, Edward, born June i, 1806; Evaline, born
Nov. 25. 1807, and Cynthia, born Sept. 28, 1813. Some

1 87 1, being 90 years 4 months and i clay old. He married first
Electa (Callender) Whiting, March — , 1807. She was born
September 30, 1777, in Sheffield, Mass., and died Jmie 5, 1847,
at Ellsworth, Ohio. She was the second daughter of Reuben
and Abigail Callender of Sheffield, Mass., (her older sister's
name being Annis) and at the time of her marriage, the widow
of Roger Whiting who was born Dec. 23, 1778, and died May •
13, 1804. The Callender family was of Scotch origin, coming
from the town of Callender in Perthshire in Central Scotland,
about 1700, or perhaps earlier. Reuben was a land owner and
a farmer by occupation in Sheffield; the recorded "Ear-mark
for his creatures is a half cross, the under side of the right
ear and a half penny cut on the upper side of the left ear.
Entered April i, 1777."

He and four of his five brothers, Joseph, Amos, Nathaniel
and Ezekel, all had Revolutionary War Service records. For
Reuben's Services see Military Services of Huxleys and mater-
nal ancestors of Huxleys.

Second Jared married Harriet Minard Sept. 30, 1850.
She was born January 13, 1804, died February 20, 1871. No
children by this marriage.

Berkshire County, Mass., is world renowned for the wild
and picturesque beauty of its natural scenery and in modern
days is an attractive resort for tourists. Such places as Monu-
ment Mountain. Icy Glen, The Stockbridge Bowl, and October
Mountain are found there. The far famed Tipping Rock is
near the Huxley seat. This rock is of enormous weight and
rests on two pivotal points, but is so perfectly balanced that a
man with his hand can easily set it a rocking. He was a land
owner in Berkshire County, but sold it and invested the pro-
ceeds in land in the Connecticut Western Reserve and received
a deed from Thomas Huntington and his wife of Canaan,
Conn., dated February 8, 1814, for 418 acres in section 2 in
Ellsworth, Ohio. He at once set about preparing to move to
Ohio, and during the summer completed his preparations and
started Monday, Sept. 19, 18 14, in company with his brother
Daniel [104] and their families. They made the journey with
ox teams, following the "Old Indian Trail" through the state of
New York and northern Pennsvlvania. About 1800 and for a

time thereafter the route traveled ^vas across New Jersey and by
way of Reading and Harrisburgh, Pa., to Pittsburgh, and
thence to the mouth of the Beaver river, and up the BeaN-er and
Mahoning to Youngstown and Warren. Later the northern
route was used by Massachusetts and Connecticut emigrants,
but tlie larger part of the route lay through a dense forest of
heavy tirnljer with only blazed trees to indicate the way.

His deed was recorded November 14, 18 14, indicating
that he did not reach Ohio till late in the fall. A settlement of
a dozen or more families had been made at the center of Ells-
worth, but none except Philo Spaulding in the southern part
where section 2 was. The family remained at the center
through the winter, and the following spring the work of
clearing the farm of timber and making a home began in dead
earnest, and the rugged life of the pioneer, with all of its pri-
vations and toil and danger, was met and lived through with
the same indomitable courage that enabled the men of his class
and day to subdue the Western Reserve and make it the dwell-
ing place of the freemen who then inhabited and ever since
have inhal)ited it.

In due course of years the farm was cleared of timber, a
comfortable brick liouse and other suitable structures built, and
the latter years of his life were spent on the farm in a quiet, un-
assuming way. At first the customary log house was built in
a few days after going up( )n the land and used for a few years.
The brick house was built in .about 1825, consisting of 8 rooms
and is still in use nearly in its original form, and in a fairly
good state of preservation. The great open fireplace for a wood
fire, so common at that time, has long since fallen into disuse ;
but when used was capable of taking in wood four feet long,
and with the great backlog, and a large forestick resting on
huge andirons, indeed made a roaring fire for a cold winter
day. The iron crane hung securely upon the right jamb of the
fireplace, and supplied with se\-eral iron hooks of different
lengths was the means of using the fire for cooking. An ad-
justal)le hook\onsisting of two parts, forming a curious kind
of combination between a swivel and a toggle, furnished fur-
ther means of adjusting the kettle to the fire. The barns have
been moved and remodeled and much improved. The title to

his land has whuUy passed out of the family and no Hiixleys
remain in Ellsworth township where the settlement was first
made in Ohio in 1814.

He was genial and affable, and singularly free from guile
of any kind, and was not suspicious of the purposes of others.
He was especially beloved by his grandchildren, as well as by
the children of the neighborhood, who always felt free and
happy at grandpa Huxley's where they were always welcome.

Physically he was a man of large frame, strongly and
compactly built, inclining to corpulency in later years, and to a
large degree free from the infirmities and weaknesses usually
incident to old age. He was able, and did continue to work on
his farm, not from necessity, but from choice, to near the close
of life. It is related of him that on his 83rd birthday, as a trial
to see how well he retained his physical vigor, he mowed with
a scythe one acre of good meadow grass in one-half day with-
out serious fatigue. This was as much as a full hand with a
scythe, before the days of mowing machines, was expected
to do.

He never sought public preferment, but rather loved the
"quiet middle way" with the simplicities of his rural home,
and the society of the neighbors among whom he lived well
respected by all who knew him.

His children, all by his first wife, were,

97. Socrates Loveland [145] born June 20, 1809.

church society. His wife Harriet was received into the church
by letter in 1835." In 1830 he became the owner of 103 acres

46 THE HUXLEY FAMILY.

that date the following appeared in the Milwaukee Sentinel :
"The Sentinel's Neenah special says : Mr. Albert Huxley, of
the town of Clayton, Winnebago County, a respected farmer
aged seventy-eight years, was shot this morning by his son-in-
law, Torris Emmons, who li\'ed with him. Emmons then shot
himself, both dying within an hour. It is understood the fatal
act was the result of family and business difficulties. The
parties lived together for three years, and their relations have
been pleasant up to a year ago. Mr. Huxley leaves a wife and
three married daughters. Emmons leaves a w-ife and two
children. Both parties were well known and respected, and the
double tragedy causes intense excitement."

She was a daughter of Matthew Minor. Asahel Mack was a
physician and surgeon with an extensive practice at Goshen,

In the History of Goshen, Conn., at page 340, it is said,
"Dr. Asahel Mack Huxley practiced in the town for many
years, and there never was a physician more generally honored,

Ohio. She was the eld- "-^

Spaulding and was born March 30, 18 10, at Norfolk, Litchfield
County, Conn., and died at Youngstown, Mahoning County,
Ohio, September 2, 1890. Her maternal grandfather, Ozias
Bingham, and her paternal grandfather, Isaac Spaulding, both
had Revolutionary War Service records, which see in Military
Services of Huxleys and their maternal ancestors. But in
addition to this her great grandfather, Jacob Spaulding, of
Norfolk. Conn., born December 17, 1732, was a fanner of
considerable property, which he freely devoted to the Revolu-
tionary cause and at the first alarm he enlisted as a Private in
Capt. Andrew Backus" company and marched "from the town
of Plainfield for the relief of Boston in the Lexington alarm
April, 1775." He was also by the Colonial Assembly of Con-

Spaiilding. He served in the French and Indian war with the
rank of second Heutenant by the appointment of the Assembly,
in the 4th Regiment, of which Eleazor Fitch was Colonel and
Israel Putnam was Lieutenant Colonel, from 1757 to 1762, and
was present at the taking of Queljec by General Wolfe. In the
Revolutionary War in addition to his own services, and his tw^o
sons Isaac and Daniel, who were in the service he hired a man
and put him in the service and paid him $8.00 per month all
through the war and took care of his wife and two children.
At one time he collected 120 head of cattle for beef and took
them to the army as a donation, 5 of these were his own con-
tribution. His house was a retreat for sick and wounded sold-
iers ; thirty were sent to him at one time to be kept for the win-
ter, and in the spring twenty-eight returned to the army for
service.

The Spalding family was of pure English extraction ;
the first ancestor probably came from the town of Spalding in
Lincolnshire, England; at all events he was "Edward Spolden"
who settled at Braintree, Mass., in 1630, and in 1634 was made
a freeman. Of this sturdy immigrant settler the 15,300 Spald-
ings since that time to the present in the United States are the
direct descendants. They are inhabitants of every state in the
union, and many of them have attained eminent distinction, in
military, political, relig'ious, literary, and commercial life.
Many public officers, lawyers, judges, ministers and bishops
bear the name throughout the LTnited States. The genealogy
of the "Spaulding" family shows that more than 1,000 Spaul-
dings Avere in service during the civil war of 1861-65, filling
every rank known to the service from Brigadier General down
to private.

Huxley was a farmer by occupation and ow'ued 100 acres,
being a part originally bought by his father from Thomas
Huntington. He was an industrious and prosperous farmer,
and kept his farm in good order, and his buildings were sub-
stantial and adequate for the farm. He was a firm believer in
the anti-slavery sentiment that grew up and was rife in his day,
and it was said his house was a station on the "Underground
Railway." However this may have been, the compiler does not
now remember of seeing colored passengers either arriving at

or leaving" his house who were on their way through; hut it
was certain that he acted poHtically from about 1840, with
those looking to the immediate abolition of slavery in the
United States, until it was finally accomplished and after that
he was a Republican in politics but never held any office. Dur-
ing- anti-slavery times from 1840 to 1861 all of the anti-
slavery literature of the day, such as "The Anti-Slavery Stan-
dard," "The Anti-Slavery Bugle," "The Homestead Journal,"
"Helper's Impending Crisis," "Life of Frederick Douglass,"
Wm. Lloyd Garrison's "Liberator," "Uncle Tom's Cabin,"
etc., with the speeches and writings therein contained of
Stephen S. Foster, Parker Pillsbury, James Monroe, Wendell
Phillips, John A. Collins, Abbey Kelly, Hon. Gerret Smith,
Isaac Knapp and many others — mighty war horses of the anti-
slavery movement — -were found in his house and were read
by his growing sons from their earliest youth up, and doubt-
less had a large influence in forming and settling their future
political ideas.

2S0. "Jared Huxley, second son of Socrates L. and Paulina
(Spaulding) Huxley, was born at Ellsworth, Ohio, July 23,
1840. He grew up on his father's farm of 100 acres and from
youth was familiar with all kinds of farm work. Indeed. dur7
ing the years in which he was 15 and 16 years old. owing to
the illness of his father, and his inability to give any attention
to the business of the farm. Jared, with the aid of his younger
brother, Philo [228J, took entire charge of the farm business,
and they did all of the work on it in the same manner and to
the same extent as it had before been done ; raised the custom-
ary crops, did the harvesting and cared for and fed the live
stock, -and even found 'some time to assist the neighbors for
wages. Nor did they fail to attend the public school during the
winter term.

"After the usual attendance at the public schools he at-
tended a few terms at Cottage Hill Academy at Ellsworth,
Ohio, and in the winter of 1 860-1 he began teaching in the
public schools, which occupation he continued at intervals both
in Ohio and Indiana till his admission to the bar. After his
academic studies began he. earned all of the means used by him
in securing an education and was free from debt when admitted
to the bar. In 1864 he graduated fr^m a Commercial College
at Cleveland. Ohio, and in 1867, from the Scientific course at
Oberlin College. During the Civil War he was a clerk for
about two years in the Quartermaster's Department, first at
Nashville, Tenn., under S. B. Brown, Captain and A. O. M.,
in charge of transportation, and secondly, with John A. Stew-
art, Captain and A. Q. M., disbursing quartermaster at Mobile,
Alabama. For four years prior to his admission to the bar he
was Professor of INIathematics and Lecturer on the Practice
and Theory of Accounts two years at the Star City Business
College, Lafayette, Ind.. and two years at Felton and Bigelow's
Business College at Cleveland, Ohio. During these four years
he found sufficient time to pursue his law studies and qualify
himself for admission to the bar. While teaching in the public
schools in Martinsville, Indiana, he studied law in the office of
McNutt & Grubbs and was admitted in Morgan County, Ind.,
but did not begin practice there. In Cleveland he studied in the

office of Palmer & DeWolf. and was admitted to the l^ar of
Ofiio, at Norwalk, Huron County. Ohio, on April 3, 1871. He
began practice at once in Canfield, Mahoning County, Ohio,
and on rem()\al of the county seat to Youngstown in August,
1876, he removed there and is still engaged m the general prac-
tice of his profession."

He has always been a Republican in politics, and for some
years after settling in Youngstown was (|uite active politically,
frequently joining in the campaign discussion of the political
issues of the day, but ne\er held any elective office. After the
organization of the Circuit Court in Ohio in 1884, he was a
member of the Circuit Court Judicial Committee for the 7th
circuit, composed of fourteen counties and for six years its
chairman. He is a director of the Home Savings and Loan
Compan}- at Youngstown. an institution which has grown
from nothing to $450,000 of assets in ten years, and is Chair-
man of its Finruice Committee, and annual .\uditor of its ac-
counts. 1 Ic was ti\e years secretarx' of the Mahoning County
Agricultural Societ\' — was never a luember of any secret order,
and is a bachelor, and he enjoys the singular reputation where
he practices law of being an honest lawyer. He is the owner of
a comfortable home in a g'ood part of the city, in which he lives
with his widowed sister, who has charge of his household
affairs.

^vhich he possessed, amassed a large acreage of land — about
1. 000 acres — and much other property. He was a farmer, but
his more i)rofitable business was dealing in cattle or as then
called "Cattle Dro\ing," as in those days cattle were driven
east over the mountains on foot in droxcs, of 100 head or more.
